Northwood

This cozy café and cocktail bar is nestled on an otherwise fallow strip of Bloor beside Christie Pits. Subtle Victoriana – a wrought iron cage encasing the back bar, brick and black-painted walls and flickering candlelight – sets a relaxed and romantic vibe in which to enjoy bartender seasonal cocktails. Northwood is also a purveyor of fine caffeinated beverages; get a second wind courtesy of the shiny espresso machine before delving deeper into your cups.
